Sarafan was nominated by a panel of over 130 business leaders and is being recognized for her vision, leadership and transformative impact on society.

The Stevie Awards are recognized as the world’s premier business award.

This year, the selection committee chose from over 1,200 qualified nominees to select the finalists for the Female Executive of the Year award. Nominees include senior executives from Proctor and Gamble, General Motors, Unilever, Accenture and other Fortune 500 companies. Sarafan will be honored at the November 9th awards dinner in New York City where the winner will be announced.

“We’re very excited about this year’s Finalists in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business,” said Michael Gallagher, Founder and President of the Stevie Awards. “The judges have told me that they think this is the best and most inspiring crop of nominees we’ve ever had. We look forward to seeing the judges’ final decisions.”
